Andhra Pradesh to Get its’s First District Cooling System

Andhra Pradesh government has entered into an agreement with UAE based international cooling provider to get the states first district cooling system in its new capital Amaravati.
The 30 year contract was signed between the National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed) and Andhra Pradesh Capital Region Development Authority (APCRDA).
Under the contract, cooling capacity of 20,000 refrigeration tonnes will be provided to Andhra Pradesh government and the cooling services will commence from early 2021.
All government, residential and commercial buildings in Amaravati will be supplied chilled water through this system’s pipelines and will help save 40 percent of the energy currently being used.
This will also be the company’s first plant outside its Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market.
District cooling was first set up in India at Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT). The first phase of this system, with a capacity of 10,000 RTs, has been operational since April 2015.
